????The fallen flowers fall from the branches, carrying a silent chill.
In the dim light of candles, only a touch of red lingered between heaven and earth. Everything seemed to have faded in front of their eyes. They held each other's hands, intertwined their fingers, and even their black hair blown by the wind was tightly entangled together. The gorgeous red robe was lifted by the wind, carrying the most intoxicating warmth in the world.
The night was already late. They slowly knelt down in front of the red candles on the stage. He took her hand and told her a promise for a lifetime, "I, Jialou Mingye, wish to marry Jiuxi. I will love her and protect her for the rest of her life. If I disobey you, you will fall into the endless hell and burn in the flames."
Even Jiuxi couldn't help but tremble for a moment at such a poisonous oath. His gentle outline illuminated by the lamplight was so clear. She raised her eyes, looked at the red candle on the table, looked at the swaying lamplight, and tears filled her eyes. She said, "Three thousand miles away from the mortal world, I am willing to take a scoop from you. The red candle is my matchmaker, and the stars are my witnesses. I, Jiuxi, am willing to marry Jialou Mingye. I will never leave you in this life. If I ever break my promise..."
She was about to tell him the consequences, but he suddenly pulled her into his arms, lightly kissing her slightly moist lips and swallowing the tears in her eyes. With such a scorching temperature, he lifted her up and looked into her wet eyes, saying, "I've wronged you today."
She shook her head, as if all the noise was no longer important. Only his face was forever engraved in her heart. She said, "I think marriage is a matter between two people. Today is good enough."
He carried her to the bed, and with a smile, he changed back into his wedding gown. His face was straight and solemn, and he said, "Jiuxi, it's late, go to bed early."
Her face gradually turned pale, and when she saw his cold eyes, she asked, "Where are you going?"
He curved his eyebrows and said, "Three days from now, it will be our wedding day." He reached out and hooked her nose, saying lovingly, "Don't you want to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
She had no ability to think at that time and could only nod following his intoxicating gaze. He left, leaving the ground in a cold breeze.
She carefully took off the pearl-encrusted phoenix coronet and cautiously took off her wedding gown. Seeing the wrinkles on the gown hanging on the screen, she reached out to smooth them out with a distressed look. But then, she heard a low murmur outside the door, seemingly about Ming Ye. She put on her outer robe and was about to push the door open when someone patted her shoulder. Jiuxi, already feeling a bit guilty, was startled by this sudden pat. When she turned around, she saw Hei Wuchang, with a sullen look on his face. She said, "Xiao Hei, why are you here?"
Xiao Hei was almost in tears as he said pitifully, "Sir, the Immortal Realm...those bastards in the Immortal Realm have taken control of the Underworld. They even said that if you don't go back, they'll scatter their souls!"
Her heart suddenly sank, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, the thing she worried about finally happened. At this time, she seemed to have calmed down a little and asked, "Who took the lead?"
Hei Wuchang looked at the dark figure that flashed past the door, leaned close to Jiuxi's ear, and whispered, "It's Cang Ling."
If something happens in the underworld, she can't just ignore it. Not to mention that she is the lord of the underworld, those ghost officials have a very good relationship with her.
But three days later would be her wedding day with Ming Ye. If she left... how would she explain this to Ming Ye? She was in a dilemma for a moment, but after a moment's thought, she decisively said to Hei Wuchang, "Let's go! Let's go back to the underworld!"
